Confused by Onc.
My onc wants me to start Xeloda again. I have no signs of the IBC rash, no symptoms, and my last scan was clear. Isn't it standard to drop the chemo and keep me on Tykerb? I will have a scan soon but even if that is clear; he wants me on chemo.
His reasoning is that I'm young and why change anything that is working? I have been off Xeloda since surgery a few months ago.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Tonya
